Investing is new to me. I recently began to educate myself and was led to this site. i have lots to learn but for now I'd like help with this. I recently meet with someone who mentioned a kind of investment. For example you put $200/month into it and a percentage of that goes into retirement and the other percentage goes into death benefits. I think they said it was called an Index Value Fund but I am not sure. Can anyone help me with this.
